Again you misunderstood, I did not complain about waste of time reading or writing emails, I complained about the content of your mail which is an affront to common sense of the reader. Unfortunately you still did not understand the definitions of words 'gift' and 'trade', otherwise you would not have stated this: > Maybe your boss buys you lunch. Its a gift to you for doing a good job. If your boss pays your lunch, than per definition this is not a gift. You call this a gratification or award or bonus for good performance or whatever but not a gift. I am sure tax authorities regard it that way as well. If I'd be your boss I would have the strong fear that in addition you'd not know the borderline between gift and bribe too. After all there is only one thing about you that would surprise me, which is you not having the last word. =================================== My response: Have you ever heard of a Thesaurus. Look up "gift" Gift can also mean: handout, donation, offering, bestowal, bonus, award, endowment; tip, gratuity; largesse; informal freebie, perk; formal benefaction You also misused the word "gratification". If your boss is trying to "gratify" you then you may have grounds for a lawsuit. :) Maybe you meant "gratuity." But as you see the Thesaurus tells us "gratuity" can also mean "gift". Have a nice day Zac

I found a great place to buy the new Touch Yello CD/DVD. Grooves-Inc. FREE WORLD WIDE SHIPPING! I pre-ordered mine for 19EUR or $29.00 shipped to my door in Chicago IL. I have talked with them through email and they are quick to respond to problems. I mistakingly made 2 accounts and they were quick to cancel 1 of them when I asked. The company is out of Switzerland. They specialize in worldwide shipping so I hope they will be fast and efficient. http://www.grooves-inc.com/yello-touch-yello-ltd-deluxe-edt-polydor-cd-dvd-…

The remix contest is a level playing field. Everyone gets the same samples to work with. Any competent remixer will be able to create an amazing mix with the provided samples. The contest is not judged on sound quality it is judged on creativity. Either you have what it takes to compete or you don't. "Those who can, do; those who can't, complain."

Just a Dieter with the lowpitched voice and a few sounds. Just a few. No fx.no lead,no arabsynth,no pads,no Fairlight samples. That was a wast of 5 E.:( ===================== Response: Its 28 samples to be exact. including baselines, toms, fx and rare Dieter vocals. Everything you need to make a great Oh Yeah mix. None of which are available anywhere else. All for the price of a sandwich. How is that a waste of money? You make some great mixes. I bet you will do something amazing with these samples.

Zac, Sorry you wasted your time with those wonderful links. I was only using "gift" as a figure of speech. Yello doesn't have to release anything. Their releases are like gifts to the fans. It's like they are saying "Look what we made for you, we hope you like it". All gifts are given with something in return. It goes both ways. Maybe your boss buys you lunch. Its a gift to you for doing a good job. No gift is given with nothing in return. You may give your wife a gift for no apparent reason. But the reason is she has given you many years of happiness. When Yello gives us a gift of some kind of release, sure we pay a price to cover expenses but we pay nothing for the years and years of enjoyment the music brings. ======================== Glenn, All you have proven is Blu-ray is cheaper to produce now then it used to be. What I am saying is it's cheaper to produce one format than it is to produce two formats. Example: Lets say I want to produce only the standard format and I create 100,000 copies for sale. Now lets say you want to produce both formats Standard and Blu-ray and you create 100,000 sets for sale. Who is going to spend more money? ....................Answer: You! So producing both formats is a more expensive choice. Understand?

Blu-Ray being more expensive to make
by Jouni Salo 17 Nov '09

Do not forget every Blu-Ray disc author has to pay hefty licensing fees for the DRM that has to be included in every disc. There is a one time fee per author, per release and per each disc. This is why small independent publishers will not have their content available. Considering the DRM is making both hardware and discs a lot more expensive to the consumer in an attempt to prevent them form making legal copies of the content they supposedly own when they buy a disc. Just say no to DRM and do not buy. > >> I think the normal chain of events would be to release a standard DVD >> then down the road release the Blu-Ray version. That way they sell more >> standard DVDs >> If there is no Blu-ray version available the Blu-ray people will buy the >> standard version. To me Yello has made a smart choice >> They are appealing to the larger demographic. Then down the road they can >> have a special edition blu-ray package maybe with bonus items. > > Sure, but this is pure marketing and sales strategy, and has nothing to do > with BluRay being more expensive to make. So which is it, prohibitive costs > or marketing strategy? >
